  6. Emergency Questions

    in [EN] Off Topic

    Posted

    Hello!
    I've just been playing the/an Amsterdam Mod and I've noticed a couple of lighting things that caught my eye and I wondered about:
    Firstly, lots of ambulances, some police and some fire units have a small green light that can be turned on. I Googled this and saw that it is used on the first Ambulance Unit attending a Multiple Unit call, is this the same for the Police and Fire, does it demonstrate 'Command'? Also, does Multiple Unit mean Multiple Agencies, e.g. if an Ambulance arrives first at a Fire Call, does he show green until, presumably, he's outranked by a Fire Chief (equivalent)?
    Secondly, a lot of Units can show amber lights, I had assumed this was in addition to blue as 'Directional Lights'/'Rear Reds' type things, but most appear to flash in the same housing as the Blues, almost as if the LEDs are dual colour i.e. you can only see one or other at a time, so what do they indicate?
    Just a 'wondering :)

  10. Hong Kong mod V2 in progress [TOPIC OFF] please pay attention to another post

    The issue at the minute is the fact that there are two threads running in parallel advertising the same mod in two different sections of the forum. Both are sharing pictures so we're not sure which is 'real' at the minute.

    There is no copyright issues at the minute, as you say, there is no mention of a public release yet. However, we are strongly reminding them that they are not allowed to release it here or anywhere else.

    Finally, Morga005 asked for a release date/download link twice, we're saying that there won't be one until these issues are sorted out :)

    @999madtom - There's a high chance I'm going, I'll PM you if I am, would be funny to meet you in person! :D

    @ SgtLong - If there is a contract between the ambulance service/NHS and St John, yes, ETA's can work ambulance shifts including Patient Transport and frontline '999' work. Their primary responsibility is to be emergency ambulance trained members on a Crusader on a St John specific duty.

    @Entonox - Anything interesting come up? :)

  20. Emergency scenario (What would you do?)

    If you're earwigging to radio chatter then you shouldn't be doing anything. I'd call dispatch and let them know that you have an RRV and an IRU able to respond and that the above is your suggestion. Also, 20 miles away for something that hasn't been called a major incident yet, I'd sit tight and wait for something official - no point charging halfway across the county for a damp squib that's the result of a miscommunication or similar.

    First Trauma incident Wednesday Night, Motorcycle vs Car, motorcyclists second toe was snapped in half and legs/arms covered in deep abrasions, no spinal injury (Very lucky to be honest, especially considering the damage to both the car and bike) Conveyed to Major Trauma Centre by WMAS.

     

    For my first trauma on the street I did actually quite enjoy it :P

     

    Just a question for you guys; What would you do if someones toe was snapped in half, exposing the bone (No shoe on but partially ripped sock left on, bone exposed but no bleeding, pain score of 3/10)

     

    I'd leave the toe alone, maybe apply a sterile, non-fluffy dressing if it was possible (i.e. if the shoe was out the way and you could secure it properly)

    Well I'm on duty tomorrow and Sunday and Thursday so this should be a good week for my hours :D
